You seem to have so goddly fucked up RAM... and hardware, and software in general

Ok, and except the stupid wiry whiskers too...
And that was supposed to read "such a goodly fucked up"... how do I come to type things like that? oh, maybe because I shouldn't be posting right now in the first place... well, you replace that with whatever is better, not-shattered, English...

If there is something hate more than facial skin wasted by shaving is precisely a face not shaven under the nose line.

Re: What have you learnt today?

I am aware, but there is some controversy over the Borg using 001 as the designation for earth. One would think each species would consider their own as the starting point and count out from there.

But wasn't it the Federation who devised this name? That's how it was given in the episode.

Some nostalgia for you.

I'm still waiting for someone to answer my quiz question!

I used a completely different system that puts 001 nowhere near Earth - and puts us not in any sector but at the exact intersection of 8 different ones.

Re: What have you learnt today?

For some reason I was remembering the "001" speech as coming from the Borg... but even *IF* I am correct, your data predates any reference I was thinking of.

From what I can remember in the Tech Manuals, the Center of the Galaxy was supposed to represent one of the 3 points in navigation, and the flattened "Disk" shape of the galaxy was somehow blamed for all the various species ships meeting each other in the same "UP" orientation.

That was my understanding. The very first reference to Earth as Sector-0-0-1 was Worf identifying it. It would make sense for the Federation to base itself "around Earth" as a center of reference. Likewise the Borg refer to their core complex as Unimatrix 01.

Also, did you forget to add the CD?

It was just like microwaving a tv dinner (package opened and all that stuff)...the only difference was that I cracked open an egg on top of the food. Somehow it made sense that the egg and the frozen food would heat up together in the container and everything would be fine.

I learned that over a billion cells in the human body are replaced every hour. I got that out of a Snapple cap. I also learned that a mocktail of orange juice and Hansen's Diet Tangerine Lime soda is yummy. Today is all about beverage-based learning.

Hmm... not quite sure of your coding system for coordinates, but if (x,y,z) is any point, then presumably you're asking for the 8 neighbors which are "diagonally" adjacent to (x,y,z): (x+/-1,y+/-1,z+/-1).

Re: What have you learnt today?

Nope what I mean is the names of the eight 'central' spaces in the middle of the imaginary cube, given that the exact centre is at an intersection of eight of them, and assuming we're naming them starting at 001 for furthest 'up' 'forward' and 'left' then proceeding first to the right until we can go no more then down to the next row and so on and finally down to the next 'level' and repeat until we're finally at 064 at furthest 'down' 'back' and 'right' AND we're further sudividing each one with a letter a-h in a similar fashion, so 001a to 064h.

HINT: Start by telling me the eight corners - we know 001a and 064h are two. What are the other six?

Re: What have you learnt today?

I've learned that college math is like a multi-layered 3D crossword puzzle - nothing to really be afraid of (as most people HATE math), but annoying as fuck, sometimes. If you get one math function wrong, it throws the entire problem-solving process off. And figuring out just where you went wrong is frustrating as holy hell!
